Aimed at the multimedia addict, Lenovo A7000 is one of several budget devices that were launched by its maker at the Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona. The Android phablet sports a large display and features Dolby Atmos technology for an enjoyable multimedia experience.
The Design
With a dimension of 152.6 x 76.2 x 7.9 millimetres, Lenovo A7000 is somewhat on the big side. But in spite of its size, the phone weighs in at a respectable 140 grams. It features a matte plastic body with power and volume buttons fashioned with metal. The materials used and the candybar design of Lenovo should make for easy grip.
Display and Camera
Lenovo A7000 flaunts a bright display measuring 5.5 inches diagonally. The big IPS capacitive screen has an HD (720p) resolution. When cameras are concerned, the mid-size smartphone comes with an 8 megapixels rear shooter with LED flash. There is also a 2 megapixels front-facing camera to take care of selfies and video chats.
Performance and OS
Powered by an octa-core MediaTek M6752m processor, Lenovo A7000 is designed to deliver impressive performance for a budget phone. The chip is capable of speeds of up to 1.7GHz and, with support provided by RAM of 2GB capacity, it should easily and smoothly handle most games and applications loaded on the phone.
A Li-Po battery with 2900mAh power capacity – similar in capacity to the one on the camera-focused Lenovo Vibe Shot – should provide enough juice to get the phone running for several hours. Lenovo A7000 runs on the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop software.
Quality Sound
The use of Dolby Atmos technology on the Lenovo A7000 means that users are in for superior sound when using multimedia on it. Do you know that feeling of sound coming at you from different directions when at a standard cinema?
It is that same feeling that Dolby Atmos aims to create through this phone’s rear oversized speaker. The surround sound, which is usually better when using headphones, makes you feel like you are right in the thick of action when watching a movie on this budget smartphone.
The Lenovo A7000, which has 8GB internal storage memory, will sell for a price of $169.
Pricing & Availability
Lenovo A7000 is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in Nigeria. Lenovo A7000 price in Nigeria is expected to range from N34,000 to N40,000 depending on your location in the country.
